Colton, CA–The annual Freshman Luau looked like it might not happen. The event, organized by the Colton High School Link Crew, was originally scheduled for Aug. 22, but the event was postponed. It took a month, but on Sep. 24, Link Crew set the stage for a night of fun and food in the Rivera MPR.

Our reporters, Darwin Gonzalez and Deriel Dasher Garcia were on the scene of the event, and provide their report in this spirited video.
